The frame has a broken spine,
You can see how it’s been welded and reinforced which is normal as the French like to eat a lot of cheeses and paistries hence the extra weight that made it break in the first place

To be fair , ,, we ozzies drink a lot of beer and eat a lot of pies . so theres lots of bent/broken hardtail bikes over here too .

As far as I know, there was three types of badges, the enameled ones as you've pictured, clear plastic ones painted from behind and brass (?) ones coated with thick plastic. My M had the plastic ones, Aussie delivered. The French ones are rare so you'll probably have to scour the net for pictures.

Thx! It still needs a lot of work. The engine is in pieces to renew some parts, we galvanised every bolt and screw, rims,...
The exhaust needs some welding work. I orderd a replica tartan seat cover and a seat catcher.
